`Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory` when running mirror --live

[dwiel]

I was running some tests and ran into this problem:

z:src zdwiel$ drives mirror serial_to_pubsub/ 7bbiwns7mju7htdncgdgsomdy1toswqo5muyfjd7ut81wd9zwwfy --live
✔ Total files: 6 (+0 -0 ~0)

+ /n~ 6Bnode:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/zdwiel/src/serial_to_pubsub/n~'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: '/Users/zdwiel/src/serial_to_pubsub/n~'
}

Node.js v19.7.0

looks like maybe the file n~ disappeared before drives had a chance to open it? I wasn't doing anything crazy, just creating and saving files with vi and deleting files from the command line.

Yes, it's a mirror-drive bug: holepunchto/mirror-drive#15

Cool, it looks I can work around this with some retry logic around the shell command itself, assuming the error isn't too frequent. Does that sound right? Can also wait for the fix in mirror-drive

[LuKks]

It's somewhat frequent depending on the editor, this happens due the temporal file that editors create and very instantly delete

I created a drives branch with the specific mirror-drive branch, try re-installing like this until fix is released:
npm i -g holepunchto/drives#fix-enoent

thanks, I'll give that a shot

Sorry, I missed the -g part of the npm command! Comment editted now
